Heroica RPG - Quest #69: The Hook on the Other Hand
Dannylonglegs replied to CMP's topic in The Heroica Archive
Sylph picked the Bolas up. He twirled it in his gloved hand. "I'll hold onto this for now." He stated, remembering he had no flask for the mead. -

"I'll pass. I don't derive enjoyment from it. Only sustenance and physical power. Now that we've killed the assassin, we can claim our reward." Sylph did not drink the mead, but he did remove an empty flask which previously contained a disposable item, and filled it with the liquid. "might be useful later." (Is that legal in this situation?) -

OK, since it doesn't seem like anyone has anything to add, let's move on. The Party progressed until they were unable to move forward. The Blackguard descended upon the cart. "Where do you lot think you're going?" Questioned one of the black-clad warriors. "you going West or North, pals?" queried the second. "West is taxed for your safety." stated the third. "And North is off-limits." Stated the forth.- 324 replies

Looking forward, the party could see the blackguards had spotted their cart. One of them stood by the tree, waiting. The cart crept closer. If the party was to concoct a plan, they'd have to do so soon. "Needless to say, I think, these guys ahead might be a problem." Stated Dice.- 324 replies

"Oh." stated Holly, sounding impressed but a little disappointed. Then she beamed joyfully. "I see! You're here to rid the forest of the wolves! That's truly noble! Ever since the wolves made the road unsafe, the Blackguard have been taxing use of the only other road that leads to Argentil. It's awful. I'm glad that a noble spirit such as yourself chose to group-up with us!" she piped cheerfully. One of the sheep in her flock started to wander off from the main group. She whistled quickly, and her dog responded like a bolt of lightning, bringing the sheep back into line. The party neared the crossroad which separated the road they were supposed to take from the Westway Road. A tree and a tent marked the point. OoC: If you don't want to engage her in conversation, you could say "xxx ignored the prattling shepherd" or something, if you like...- 324 replies

Not a problem, real life first, I'm just trying to make sure that the slow pace I've been managing didn't deter any of you. The Party and their growing group of tag-alongs slowly made their way forward (now towing a whole flock of sheep in addition to the traders). To break the silence, Dice started talking to the party. "Holly and I have been partners in business for quite some time. We met a few years back on this road... before the wolves came. She was actually one of the best shepherds to defend someone from wolves too. With her dog and her skill, she was a capable shepherd even when she was fourteen." Dice stated proudly, Holly blushing. "She had to take up the job after her parents were 'imprisoned' by the Blackguard for an idle comment. She was left alone to keep the family afloat." Holly smiled weakly at the party. "It's true. The Blackguard have been a blight to the smaller towns. People in the big cities may not know or care, but they're little more than glorified marauders." She stated, the stubborn smile still on her face. Jasper, on the other side of the cart was frowning deeply, a look of pain and unwillingness etched onto his face. "So, what lead you lot to join in this... umm... economic venture. I know Jasper and his institution are backing Dice financially, but where do you fit in?"- 324 replies

"Well..." She stated shyly, looking at Dice and back. "I need you to make sure that no bandits or Blackguards steal or kill my sheep. As I'm sure Dice told you, they're a crucial part of this..." Suddenly Dice started shaking his head slightly. "I mean to say, Dice paid allot of money for these sheep and if they don't get to and from Argentil in one piece, then he'd lose that money... I'm not a merchant though, so I'm just here to tend to them and make sure the wolves don't get them. My dog Ennocsend and I can fight too if it comes to that!" She added. Holly has joined the party! Shepherd These pastoral herders tend to their flock of sheep as they journey from market to market. Base Health: 7 (+1 per level up) Weapons: Shepherds are adept at using Crooks as weapons to defend their flock. Job Trait: Know thy Enemy - Shepherds protect their sheep from many predators, and therefore know much about wolves and other dangers of the road. A Shepherd knows when wolves are near, and when confronting danger can provide insight about an enemy. (Show the stats of a Target when asked.) Battlestyle: Herding - Shepards control the battle with their dogs and crook. 1. SHIELD: Hit 'em where it Herds! - The Shepherd commands their herding dog to fend off all attacking predators. All Beasts and Vermin take damage equal to the Shepherd's Dog's Level plus the Shepherd's level, and are confused for three rounds. (e.g. Dog's Level 2 + Level 2 = 4 damage + confused for three rounds to all Beast and Vermin.) 2. CRITICAL HIT: The Shepherd attacks the target with strength equal to two times their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 3 x 2 + Level 2 = 8 damage.) 3. HIT: The Shepherd attacks the target with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 3 + Level 2 = 5 damage.) 4. PROTECT: The Shepherd ensures no harm befalls the Hero below them in the Battle Order for the remainder of the round. 5. DAMAGE: The Shepherd is struck by the opponent's attack. 6. SPECIAL DAMAGE / FOSTER THE FLOCK: The Shepherd is struck by the opponent's special skill, but if the skill involves eating sheep, no sheep are lost. Holly Level 15 Power: 20 Health: 21/21 Gold: 0 Equipment: Crook (WP: 5), Ennocsend (Dog, Level 7), Survival gear (bedroll, pot, etc...) Sheep: 15- 324 replies

@76: Have I bored you to silence? I'm really sorry that I've only been able to update once per 24 hours, but this was the slowest portion of the quest, with lots of pictures and words and not much fighting. Now that you're on the road again, the quest should be able to move along twice as fast. If you really aren't entertained though, do tell me. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

"Alright!" Stated Dice. "Let's go meet our Shepherd." Stated Dice, leading the party through the throngs of people clamoring about in the wake of the parade. After pushing through to the far end of the Town, Dice stopped to reacquire his cart and horse. Yoro walked beside him, bantering haughtily about the figures in the parade. Jasper mostly remained quiet, eyeing those who passed them by intently. He had bags under his eyes and looked quite mopey. When Dice had ensured that his items were fastened tightly to the cart, the headed out through the gate. On their way out, they were searched again by members of the Blackguard. These few seemed inebriated. Dice reported his items; one barrel of Ale, a crate of Pepper, a crate of flatbread, and 3 bottles of wine. The Blackguards enforced a "Wine Tax," claiming one of the bottles in his possession, which Dice begrudgingly handed over. Upon leaving the city and walking a quarter of a short distance, the party came upon a cloaked woman, surrounded by a flock of 15 sheep, and a dog. She smiled naively at the party, waving faintly. Dice smiled. "This is Holly." He stated. "Holly, this is our crew. These men'll make sure we, and your sheep, make it to and from Argentil in one piece." Holly smiled, and said, "Pleasure to meet you!"- 324 replies

The Party quickly vacated the market area to catch the parade. They regrouped with their second employers in front of the Inn. Then the show started. The first people down the line were lesser known Lords, some from the north, some from the south west. Eventually, after a long line of Lords, Ladies, and their servants, the parade finally grew fancier, and one of the Lords the Party had already met arrived, sitting fancily atop his brown horse rode Lord Montressor. His arrival was followed by none other than the Queen herself. She was shrouded in a rich black and red carriage. For the majority of the parade the shroud covered her face, but for a moment, she looked out upon the crowd with the veil lifted. She seemed bored and tired. Beside her, confidently, strode the leader of the blackguard, his men flanking the Queen. A confident smirk painted his chiseled face. Behind the Queen trailed her personal Guards, lead by the grimacing Captain of the Guard. Behind the Guards trotted the High Priest of Ennoc, who was flanked by his lower priests, and behind the Priest, rode the two Lords of Brendenton, neither overly pleased to walk behind the Queen, but still reveling in the power afforded to them by being in charge of the wealthiest city in Sundestia. After them walked a few more soldiers, loyal to the Brendens When the Parade was over, Dice nudged William. "So, are you all ready to go?"- 324 replies
